Eastland Trails reports progress; leaders optimistic about next-stage RHTP funding

May 13, 2026

Eastland Trails officials told the advisory board that phase one (about 3.5 miles, two bike trails) is nearing completion and that they expect a decision on whether to submit a full RHTP proposal by the end of next week. Phase two (nearly four miles) would be costlier and will be built as funding allows.

Camille, reporting for Eastland Trails, summarized construction progress and near‑term funding prospects: "Phase one is three and a half miles of trails with two bike trails," she said, noting phase two would be longer and more expensive and would depend on additional funding. She reported that the RHTP opportunity had attracted many applicants and that the project expected to learn whether it would be invited to submit a full proposal by the end of the coming week.
